Is it possible? - General Questions and Answers

I was told that I can buy an app from the store, download it onto my phone, then download the same "paid" app for free on a friends phone for him without having to buy it again. Therefore have the app on both phones for the price of one?

I think it is possible but you have to log in your google account on his device.

Ah yes I see! So basically you'd have to leave your account on his phone because as soon as you log out all the apps disappear as well that you downloaded?

Exactly. At least that's how I think it works with Gingerbread. Not sure about Ice Cream Sandwich though.

There ars also exceptions: Some apps are bundled with the device IMEI. E.g. Navigon Mobile Navigator. On a new phone: Whether you use the same google account, you have to call the support to reactivate the software

how to install google map..

i just flash CM7 and gapps..but i cant have google maps..i search at market...cant be download also..
please help me...where i can get google map??
i simply type in google map in Android Market
then click install
done
maybe you just need to install Android Market spoof app, to make it think it is in USA
Get the gapps.zip from CM wiki... it'll contain the market (or get the market.apk itself).

i already flash gapps...i already have market..when i search google map at market...it is not available...
In Malaysia, updates to google maps are not available for some ****ed up reason. It is very frustrating how google shuns markets outside the US. I have no idea why we dont have Google+, Blogger, Chrometophone (the list goes on)
However a workaround(bug) to this is just to wait for another update to come along in your android market. When this happens, there will be an option to update ALL apps. Choose this one and google maps will update and install as well. Just be patient, or download an app that gets updates frequently

Ever thought about it's not Google mocking you but the government restricting the market in MY to get certain apps?
Especially those apps you mentioned leave an impression that tools enabling quick sharing of opinions are blocked.
Market enabler? Tried that? Fake one of the US providers and try searching again. If not, google that .apk and install it manually...

Hi, you have to flash the Gapps package from CWM recovery depending upon the android version. Cheers !!
I tried like ten times, with different versions, rebooting, wiping, etc. Nothing worked.
Finally I installed Google Play from chinese Market app. Works.

I would be careful with that as it is hacked version and google is banning accounts that use it.

Really couldnt say. As the OEM that puts this OS out doesnt have an agreement with google to allow google apps or the market. So you maybe able to get buy with it but I wouldnt use your normal email address.

That's OK with me. I use only free apps and gmail isn't my primary address. I thought Google could ban my cellphone, like for example Microsoft pirated Xbox.
Thanks for help.

[APP][MOD]Samsung Milk Music Modded for ANY device no root required

Original concept taken this thread but when I noticed that it hadn't been updated in a while and the OP stated that he had abandoned the path I figured I'd step up..
This mod is super easy so I'll try to keep it updated to the current iteration of the app.
Installing just the app won't let you save your channels or enable explicit lyrics. To do so you'll need Samsung's account service apk installed as well. I tested many apks and got many FCs until I found this one. I'm currently using it on klte Resurrection Remix on my G900T variant S5 Nexus 6p that is my daily driver and it's working great.
EDIT:
Milk Music updated to 1.5.1700015344 (May 18 2016 Playstore version)

EDIT:
Milk Music updated to 1.5.1700015376 (latest July 26 2016 Playstore version)

Samsung Account Apk
Can be found in this post (version 2.1) that I installed on the Nexus 6p and it works here. Your mileage may vary..
(This is no longer needed, FYI)
Thanks!

Device restriction was removed not the code where it checks your region/country. Milk Music is by default only available in the United States. I can attempt to modify this but unsure if that would be against XDA policy to link here.
No it is not against the policy u can provide a link
Attempted to create a "new account" and was told my email address was invalid...so what part am I missing? The two apk's are installed.

Well I've never used milk music before and I've never owned a samsung phone so I don't see how I would have had an account already. I would think it would give an account already exists as opposed to a "email is invalid" message. I gave them an @gmail account.

What about country checking code removal man?
Login Issue
Both apk files downloaded and installed; however I was unable to login to my Samsung account (processing Failed error). I tried a different password to be sure but I got an incorrect password error that time rather than a failed processing error. So, I tried logging into Milk Music and I entered my username and password. It took me to a webpage error.
Any chance the Samsung account apk was updated more recently? I'd love to access my saved stations.

Looked into this.. the evaluation for country check isn't stored in the apk.. There's an internal url that the app calls which returns a true parameter as part of the returned string. Haven't been able to narrow down the code that parses that string.. Sorry.

Very well could be the case.. I tried 5 or 6 different 'SamsungAccount.apk' files before I found one that worked.. Most just FC'd which tells me the newer ones are most likely calling to code on the Touchwiz parts of the ROM on Sammy devices.. That wouldn't be a shocker.. If you or someone wants to share the latest account apk as an attachment here I'll take a look more in depth.

How do I go about getting you the latest apk? I still have my S5 (shattered screen, but still usable and works great I just keep it for the milk music app), and if I knew how to do it, I could. (I follow instructions well, and I learn by doing). Sort of a smidge more advanced than a noob. Lol

The easiest way to share would be to upload to google drive and then share the file to my gmail which I'll give you.

This one doesn't specifically but I figured it out. Download the following Samsung Account apk: Samsung Account APK
Download Milk Music latest APK: Milk APK
Install both. Go into your settings and add your Samsung Account under Settings, Accounts, add, then Samsung Account. Once you add this open the milk apk. You'll be required to login to it as well but it should open and work perfectly with ZERO modifications. I just did it on mine and it's working great!

Back to Android after four years, bit lost on some unrelated things...

I just need some help if someone is willing...
1. I just moved to Canada from France where I used to have an Android phone and Android tablet. I've changed every single location setting imaginable in every single settings menu on my new Blu Life One X and STILL the Play store insists on showing up in French with euros. Where do I make this change? The new phone has a Canadian SIM and logs in all day from a Canadian location. Even Google Maps knows where I am.
2. Notifications are pop ups to tell you that something is new in an app: a message, an update, etc.
Syncing is the application connecting with servers to update data.
Notifications seems easy to find but is there one SPECIFIC place to stop both of them if one wants? I feel like there are apps doing background syncing that I don't want to be doing so and can't for the life of me find where to get them to stop.
Thanks for any help guys. I appreciate it.

I'm assuming so that the phone itself instead of just your apps would know which region it is in, therefore, showing the currency for that country. Using just location services may not be enough.

Not necessarily French but at least CANADIAN, its about getting the phone set to the correct region, not necessarily a specific language. You WERE in France so I suggested French, that's all.

Sign into Google Wallet and click the Settings icon in the top-right corner.
Click Edit next to the "Home address" listed and update the address (please note this is different from the "Address book" which holds shipping addresses).
Open the Google Play website and navigate to any paid item available for download at Android Apps on Google Play.
Click to begin a download until you reach the 'Accept and buy' screen (no need to complete the purchase).
Close Google Play and clear your browser cache if you're on a desktop or laptop computer.
Wait 30 minutes.
Re-open the Google Play. You should now see the Play Store that matches the country in your legal address.
(If this doesn't work, remove any existing cards)

Themes / Apps / Mods SPayToGPay: Remap Samsung Pay long-press shortcut to Google Pay on watches in regions shipping without Samsung Pay

There are regions where Samsung Pay isn't supported, and the app is therefore not preinstalled on the watch. As a result, those users are unable to use apps such as GW4Remap to remap the bottom button long-press shortcut to anything else. In order to help that group of users, I made a simple app that remaps the shortcut to Google Pay.
The app works by simply being a fake Samsung Pay app that launches Google Pay whenever it's invoked by the system through the use of the long-press shortcut. Since trying to install the app on a watch where the real Samsung Pay has been preinstalled will result in a signature mismatch, this only works on watches from regions where Samsung Pay isn't preinstalled.

A helper app to remap the Samsung Pay button shortcut on the GW4 to Google Pay on watches shipping without Samsung Pay - blunden/SPayToGPay

NOTE: Requires rebooting the watch after installing the app.
EDIT: Version 1.1 works with Google Wallet.
EDIT 2: Version 1.2 hides it from the recent apps menu. No other changes.
I sideload it with bugjaeger but it doesn't show up on my watch at all.
So I went through the installed packages using bugjaeger and I saw that samsung pay did install but long pressing the button doesn't do anything
sorry mate have to let you know I tried everything but it doesnt seem to work

When you say that Samsung Pay shows as installed, can you be more exact? Do you mean the package name or an app with that name?
Can you show me a logcat? The person on reddit testing it for me said that it worked for him but I don't know the exact details.

yeah the package name, not an app. Also, I'm the same person over on reddit so it's pointless to have 2 conversations using both reddit and xda, I'll keep you updated on reddit
It appears that restarting the watch after installing the app is required.

Yeah, that's how it always worked. Having it work within apps would prevent apps that listen for key presses from working properly.

See the updated first post for a link to the updated app.
It doesn't hurt to launch Google Wallet once, although not sure if that's actually required or not.

It's up to OS to decide when and where the shortcut works. This app just pretends to be Samsung Pay and launches Google Wallet when started.
